defi
DEX Aggregator
A protocol that searches many decentralised exchanges and liquidity pools for a single swap, then splits and routes the order across the best combination to maximise output after gas — all in one atomic transaction. Examples: 1inch, Matcha, ParaSwap, CowSwap on EVM chains and Jupiter on Solana. Aggregators typically beat any single DEX's price and increasingly add MEV protection via private routing or batch auctions.
